Telling It Like It Is

 
 
In our convoluted world of excuse making and blame casting — the mother of all “no fault” societies — people and governments are and have:

* Ridiculed the absolute truth of God’s Word and called it pluralism;

* Denounced Christianity and embrassed all religions and called it unity.

* Taken away the Christians rights to pray and worship the one true God and allowed other religions to have their freedom and then say there is no longer such a thing as a Christian Nation.

* Worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism

* Endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle;

* Exploited the poor and called it the lottery;

* Neglected the needy and called it self-preservation;

* Rewarded laziness and called it welfare;

* Killed our unborn and called it choice;

* Shot abortionists and called it justice;

* Neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem;

* Abused power and called it political savvy;

* Coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition;

* Polluted the air with profanity and called it freedom of expression;

* Ridiculed the time-honored values of God and our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

As a people, surely we are under His indictment: Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitterIsaiah 5:20

If we, as a professed followers of Christ are living Biblically, we are an affront to our non-Christian associates. They don’t like what we stand for. Our values, focus and application of Biblical truth angers and annoys them: Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 2 Tim 3:12

QUESTION: Are we Cultural Christians or a Biblical Christians? Are our values, world-view, judgments, heart-involvement and lifestyle in line with Biblical truth or have we allowed the allurement or pressure of the world to bend our values to conform to its seductive powersDo we vote because we are of a certain political party? Or do we vote according to how they measure up according to God’s Word? To vote for and endorse a candidate who is a proponent of these kind of things is to go against God and His word.  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
